    What does it matter? She can have her eye, her nose and her spleen on it if she likes, there was no Will and it's the OP's money, as per the law of intestacy.

    It matters if the OP follows the suggestions on here about not being honest with the authorities.

    a) The authorities have not contacted the OP and almost certainly won't.

    b) I have read back through the thread and I can't see anyone suggesting that. The overwhelming consensus is that the OP should be entirely open with her bank as to where the money came from, because there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

    Wheras if you ae the Duke of Westminster you can inherit £10bn tax free. But I have no doubt that was legal. It sounds like his £24k wasn't. So I wouldn't try to hide it, even though the system is not fair. Try and change the law by all means. But don't just ignore it or you will lose.
    £10 billion couldn't technically be kept in just one current account, could it? I mean wouldn't the banks say you need a special type of account especially designed for such large wealth?
